Screening Filters

1. Market Cap ≥ $10B (market_cap: {'min': '10000000000'})

   • Purpose: Focus on larger, more established companies.
   • Rationale: For a generic “stock to buy” recommendation (without specifying risk appetite or niche themes), large-cap stocks tend to be more stable, more liquid, and better covered by analysts. This reduces idiosyncratic risk compared with small, speculative names.

2. Return on Equity ≥ 12% (return_on_equity: {'min': '12'})

   • Purpose: Ensure we are looking at companies that generate attractive returns on shareholders’ capital.
   • Rationale: ROE is a quality and profitability metric. A threshold of 12% filters out many low-quality or structurally weak businesses and focuses on companies that historically have deployed capital efficiently, which is desirable for a potential long-term holding.

3. Debt-to-Equity ≤ 1 (debt_equity: {'max': '1'})

   • Purpose: Limit financial risk by avoiding highly leveraged companies.
   • Rationale: A D/E ratio below 1 suggests that a company is not over-reliant on debt financing. This typically makes earnings more resilient in downturns and reduces the risk of distress from rising interest rates or tightening credit conditions—important for someone looking for a relatively sound purchase candidate.

4. 5-Year EPS CAGR ≥ 8% (eps_5yr_cagr: {'min': '8'})

   • Purpose: Require a history of consistent earnings growth.
   • Rationale: An 8%+ compounded annual growth rate in earnings per share over five years indicates that the business isn’t just stable, but is actually growing at a healthy pace. This aligns with the idea of buying companies with expanding profits, which supports future stock price appreciation and/or dividend growth.

5. P/E (TTM) between 10 and 30 (pe_ttm: {'min': '10', 'max': '30'})

   • Purpose: Avoid both extremely cheap (potentially distressed) and extremely expensive (possibly overhyped) valuations.
   • Rationale:
     • A minimum of 10 screens out some very low P/E stocks that may be “value traps” (cheap for a reason, e.g., severe structural issues).
     • A maximum of 30 avoids the highest-multiple growth names where expectations are very high and downside can be significant if growth slows.
     • The 10–30 band is a moderate valuation range that often corresponds to reasonable quality and growth expectations.

Why Results Match the User’s Request

• The filters prioritize quality (high ROE), financial strength (reasonable leverage), and demonstrated growth (solid EPS growth history), which are core criteria when shortlisting candidates to “buy.”
• By focusing on large caps and moderate valuations, the screener aims to identify stocks that balance growth potential with risk control, aligning with a general request for a stock recommendation suitable for many investors rather than speculative trades.
